What Causes Sharp Pain In The Upper Left Quadrant Pain?
Ultrasound required
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM.
If there was trauma of this part of abdomen then the first thing to rule out is splenic injury. This injury may manifest as acute or subacute or even chronic. There may be small tear in spleen and hematoma which may cause symptoms you describe even months after initial injury. Secondly, it may be pleurodinia of the left lower part of pleura and this is usually caused by pneumonia and such pain would be aggravated during the inspiration. And third, this may be related to gastritis or pancreatitis, although this is usually felt in epigastrium.
If you ask me, i think it would be good to do some tests before relocation, and these include ultrasound, pancreatic enzymes and lungs xrays. it will show us if some of disorders that i ve mentioned are causing this pain. Wish you good health. Regards
